Netanyahu's son cannot return to Israel

Naamah Lazimi, a member of the Knesset (Israeli parliament) from the Labor Party, said that Yair Netanyahu, the son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been "deported" for beating his father, who is known as a symbol of sovereignty.

According to the Samaa news agency, Lazimi said during a meeting of the Knesset Finance Committee: "I want to ask about the presence of Sara Netanyahu, the Prime Minister's wife, abroad; who is financing this trip and how much does it cost? I also want to ask about Yair Netanyahu."

He added: According to a report published last year, the cost of protecting Yair Netanyahu is estimated to be about 2.5 million shekels (Israeli currency) annually. Is this still funded by the state budget? Are they still going to fund his presence abroad, after he beat his father, the symbol of the state, and was forced to leave Israel?

“Do you remember this? Of course you do. He was exiled abroad,” he continued.

Lazimi’s remarks stunned the committee members, with some Knesset members asking, “Are you serious?” Lazimi replied that Yair Netanyahu “cannot return to Israel.”
